Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1. A monolithic micro structure comprising a) one or more three dimensional micro structural elements enclosed by planar faces wherein said elements have a size and shape determined by any one or more of a section of a material lattice, atomic cluster, molecule, an organic structure, a material grain, packing of grains and material phases, wherein said elements further comprise a rotation axis that can pass anywhere through said elements, along a face or through a vertex of said elements, and wherein said elements undergo a rotation that is about said rotation axis and that arises from any one or more of a force, a rotation of a physical quantity and change in angular momentum of a physical quantity; b) a shearable medium between any two or more of said planar faces of said elements, wherein said shearable medium further comprises a rotational strain that arises from said rotation of one or more said elements, and wherein said rotational strain can be derived from a first function set that computes rotational strain and stress on and around said planar faces of said elements; c) a physical quantity that can be derived from a second function set that comprises constants and trigonometric functions and wherein said second function set is successively dependent upon parameters of said first function set of said rotational strain in (b).

2. A monolithic micro structure comprising a) one or more three dimensional micro structural elements enclosed by planar faces wherein said elements have a size and shape determined by any one or more of a section of a material lattice, atomic cluster, molecule, an organic structure, a material grain, packing of grains and material phases, wherein said elements further comprise a rotation axis that can pass anywhere through said elements, along a face or through a vertex of said elements, and wherein said elements undergo a rotation that is about said rotation axis and that arises from any one or more of a force, a rotation of a physical quantity and change in angular momentum of a physical quantity; b) a shearable medium between any two or more of said planar faces of said elements, wherein said shearable medium further comprises a rotational strain that arises from said rotation of one or more said elements, and wherein said rotational strain can be derived from a first function set that computes rotational strain and stress in and around said planar faces of said elements; c) a stress or strain that can be derived from a second function set and wherein said second function set is successively dependent upon parameters of said first function set of said rotational strain in (b).
